We all know that this is the season that we welcome many beautifully colored, shaped, and flavored summery fruits. One that we have focused on today is the Sour Cherry fruit. Once pitted, brought to a nice boil, and spread in between rice, it proves to you that other than the fruit basket, sour cherry can be the main role in a flavorful rice mixture too. We call it “Sour Cherry Rice w/Meatballs” also known as Albaloo-Polo. Some like it to taste sweet, some like it to taste sour, we like it to be somewhere in the middle where it tastes just right..
Now imagine one layer of the perfectly boiled long grains of white rice, one layer of bright colored simmered sour cherries, one layer of flavorful meatballs, topped with a layer of white rice mixed in with the red-ish pink-ish purple-ish sour cherry juice..now repeat..
Oh it speaks to you, trust me..
Make sure to check out this week’s video to get a tutorial on how it is all done and if you don’t plan on making it, then just sit back and enjoy the beautiful process 🥰

Growing up I was always on the counter next to my grandma, mama, and aunts, watching them as they cooked the good stuff and sneaked me a bite.
Due to migration, it got taken away from me pretty early in life but there was one thing that always took me back home- the food…
